I read it as "you're right that I support Hamas but I'm not a tankie because I oppose all genocides, not just the one in Gaza" which I admit is also a non-sequitur but not as much of a non-sequitur as also calling Hamas genocidal. But we're definitely reading tea leaves here.

    By insisting that the red triangle in his display name is related to his fictional lore and not Hamas, I think he's trying to say that he opposes Hamas as a "genocidal regiem". Which is why he thinks you're "insisting" that he "likes genocide" when you continue to state that you think he supports Hamas.

    Yeah, maybe, but I think what he meant by that was that I kept insisting he's a tankie but he believes tankie = genocide supporter.

    Anyway, I do think his thing of specifying that tankies are defined by our defense of China's genocide specifically is interesting. I already pointed out that that excludes Maoists which I can't wait to see his reply to.

    China's """""genocide""""" lmao. It will be interesting if he replies to you, but based on what he has said so far I'm not expecting much of a useful or well-informed answer.

    If he reads this thread before replying, I'm gonna give him a secret hint: don't just assume that because Chairman Mao was Chinese that means Maoists are pro-China! It was actually a trick question! To answer this one halfway correctly, you might have to do at least 2 minutes of reading. To answer it very correctly, it may be necessary to get way more educated on political subjects before running one's mouth online. I recommend reading Parenti and starting at Blackshirts and Reds! I believe in you!
